How do you....??

Ok,

I'm no tech geek so please be patient. I was gonna post a trip report from last weekend with photos but can't figure out how to post a photo. I'm used to using "attachment" links in regular emails. The only thing I could find here was 'insert image' but then it asked me for my URL info. Not sure what that is or where to find one!

Please be detailed in explanations as I'm not very computer literate. Thanks!

You would need to upload your (correctly sized) images to somewhere like Picasa or Flickr. The URL is the web address of the image. Depending what computer you have, you can usually view your uploaded image ad right-click or similar to 'view image' or 'view image address' and at the top of your web browser will be the image address starting with http. It's this that you copy and paste into the field where it asks you for the image address. HTH.

or under the reply box that im typing this in is a button that says go advanced, hit that then youll see a paperclip icon, hit that and itll pop up a window that has blank boxes with a "browse" button. click that and track down your pics, one for each box and then below all those is an upload button. hit that and youll be good to go when you see the pics in the current attachments (under all those boxes)

and youll end up with this

What he said! Waaaay easier than uploading to a website and all that in my opinion.

Make sure to resize your picture according to the Manage Attachments according to attachment key size.

+1 to that.

Plus, when you look at some of the older threads, the images say that the photos are no longer available because the third-party site no longer keeps them. I think it is better to link them to this site.
